Abstract

We study the anomalous quantum Hall effect exhibited by the relativistic particles living on two-sphere S2S2 and submitted to a magnetic monopole. We start by establishing a direct connection between the Dirac and Landau operators through the Pauli–Schrödinger Hamiltonian HsSP. This will be helpful in the sense that the Dirac eigenvalues and eigenfunctions will be easily derived. In analyzing HsSP spectrum, we show that there is a composite fermion nature supported by the presence of two effective magnetic fields. For the lowest Landau level, we argue that the basic physics of graphene is similar to that of two-dimensional electron gas, which is in agreement with the planar limit. For the higher Landau levels, we propose a SU(N)SU(N) wavefunction for different filling factors that captures all symmetries. Focusing on the graphene case, i.e. N=4N=4, we give different configurations those allowed to recover some known results.
